This sounds epic.

"Larry Madrid, president of Madrid Engineering Group of Bartow, also was brought in to help devise a plan for stabilizing the sinkhole. He said the engineering group has investigated several thousand sinkholes in Florida. He called this collapse “unprecedented.’’

Madrid said the sinkhole is still shifting and its sides are very steep, meaning the soil will continue to collapse into the hole. Until that happens, excavation will be hampered or impossible."

This article doesn't even attempt to feature a picture from the Florida sinkhole, they posted a different sinkhole from somewhere else, but it doesn't look natural at all...too perfect. Looks like it was carved out.

Photo caption:A Florida man was swallowed in a gigantic sinkhole that opened up and pulled his entire bedroom underground. This picture is from a few years back when a sinkhole opened up in South America.

The sinkhole is about 20 feet to 30 feet across and may be 30 feet deep, said Bill Bracken, president of an engineering company assisting emergency workers. The hole was originally reported to be 100 feet across, but that is the diameter of the safety zone surrounding it, Bracken said.

"It started in the bedroom, and it has been expanding outward and it's taking the house with it as it opens up," he said.

the brother interviewed seemed pretty sketchy, seemed like he was faking his emotions. anyone else choked up like himself would involuntarily have brief pauses in thier speech, he spoke unbroken with a whimper.. just seemed staged to me.
